Controls, accessibility and session setup

Patch 1.0.11 added toggle aiming, toggle sprinting, hold-to-attack and a nametag toggle. Patch 1.0.5 added X/Y look inversion.

Try your chosen aim mode, reload, weapon slot and interact input before consuming boss bait. Pick the configuration that lets you move and look comfortably; a guide’s defaults may not match your layout.

The developer announced Steam Deck verification in 1.0.11; 1.0.8 addressed PlayStation controller glyphs. That is not a Kingy performance benchmark or confirmation of every controller mapping.

RubenS’s Steam guide suggests selecting a weapon hotkey directly from the rod instead of manually dropping the catch first. Check the bound slot in your own settings and practice away from a boss; this shortcut has not been reproduced by Kingy.

Patch 1.0.12 updated MetaVoice to 4.3 with the stated aim of fixing voice issues. A connection debug indicator was added in 1.0.9. These are diagnostic leads, not proof of the cause of your particular audio problem.

Record whether the fault affects game audio, voice or the whole lobby; note your input/output device and game version. Compare a solo session with the same settings before changing several things at once. Never share a private invite or account credential in a bug report.

Kingy has not verified a universal fix or the current input sequence for a fishing line that will not reel in. Distinguish a cast with no bite from a hooked fish that will not retrieve: those are different failures. Check the current rod bindings and record which stage stops.

Record your game version, keyboard/controller, lure name, host or guest role, and whether a boss is active. Try a normal cast without spending quest bait while identifying the failed interaction. A repeatable report is more useful than importing another fishing game’s controls.

Patch 1.1.2 added reload rebinding. Set and test your preferred reload input before a fight; earlier controls lists predate this option.
